WINNERS
To ensure that each film and screenplay is evaluated and graded
on its own merits, we established a mechanism that ensures that entries
are not judged against one another.They are, in essence, competing against themselves: we judge each item on its own merits and provide a score based on an innate value system.
We want to make sure that when it's your moment to be judged, the judges' attention is focused on you and not on all of the other films in the queue; this ensures that they won't be thinking about comparisons when they should be thinking about YOU.
Judges score entries on a performance scale;
winning entries
are recognized and awarded for Best of Festival and Best of Show and
for two
levels of Awards of Excellence, two levels of Awards of Merit, and a
Kudos
Endeavor Award, or no award at all.
The best-scoring entry or entries are given the
Best of
Festival and Best of Show awards each season.
Awards of Excellence are granted
to entries with truly exceptional artistic and technical achievements.
Awards
of Merit and 'Kudos' are given to entries with notable achievements.

CLUTTER
Director James Card
in Tight Shorts
United Kingdom
Jean has a no nonsense attitude to both her cleaning job and her affluent clientele.
But faced with the aftermath of a grieving drag queen’s night of hedonism, she is forced to confront the pain of her own loss, and the repercussions of a deep rooted prejudice.
Clutter examines how loss affects us all, whether gay, straight , queer or trans, and how we find the strength to move forward.
